Yes, give her some Nutri-cal. Sometimes they will take a hour or so break after delivering several puppies. She probably delivered all the pups out of one horn and it might take awhile to work the other two down. As for nursing, keep trying to get the pups to attach. The mom might no have a lot of milk now but she should have colostrum. The pups suckling will help bring down the milk. When mom is resting between pups I like to let the pups nurse because that will help with the contractions. As soon as the mom starts to delivery another pup I always move the others to the side and keep them in a small blanket.
